Halo For PC Patch 1.03 out

Go to http://www.fileplanet.com/ to get the new patch. I don't know what it fixes, but with Halo, any fixes are good fixes.

Even with all the features that the new patch has it fails to have one major fix that the game so deperately needs:

Stops computers from crashing, and if it doesn't crash it might actually run like a normal fucking game and not a lame ass piece of shit that slows down gaming machines to make them seem like a PC that came from the 80's.

Fuck Halo!

Damn, that's some serious anti-Halo vibes I'm feeling Sixate...

*shrugs*

The PC version is crappy though... I'm just glad I have the Xbox version with a LAN to play on

I'm not too thrilled by console to PC Ports. My PC hardware is much more powerful than the XBox's hardware, yet Halo loads my system down. BS, BS, BS.

I've an FX5900, a gig of DDR Ram, 2.4GHz of processing power and an Audigy 2, yet the highest FPS count I can muster in this game is an awkward 35.

Disgusting, glad I didn't have to pay for it (promo copy).

Yeah, Halo is pretty much a disgrace to the PC community. First it was promised as a PC game, only to be yanked for the XBox by M$ at the last minute. Then years later, an extremely hobbled port is made available to PC folks. Hell, I never thought I would see it available for the PC, so they could have taken another 6 months and optimized it. Oh well, I only wasted $40 on it. Wait! That pisses me off! lol.

I can't imagine someone with a GeForce 3 or Radeon 8500 trying to play Halo. I think a 9700 Pro is the bare minimum for Halo. My 9500 Pro overclocked can cope, but gets bogged down.

Well i guess this is kinda good because I thought my computer sucked. Now I know that the game is bad on everyone's computer.
Did the patch help at all?

I have an 8500 Radeon and the game is playable, but the frame count does tend to suck at times. My biggest beef with the game is how they made the idiotic decision to yank out coop play. The funnest part of the Xbox game imho. Playing the sp version of the game can tend to get a bit boring for me. I still think its a fun game as is, but not a great game by any means.
